Havoc10K:
and they still seem to worry about dying :D
Natheria:
I almost feel like Otonashi is coming into his own a bit and that Yuri is taking a backseat (or at least keeping to her lofty authority position). I am also unsure whether or not i actually like Yui. I really hope she gets developed well to make up for her being so annoying (or just taking out some of the annoying juice in her, ether one would be great).
bobjoe:
That backwards ED thing got to me... (click to show/hide)And yet, isn't that outcome inevitable? I mean, doesn't it seem like we are going to see each character eliminated one by one?
Now, the thing is, I might be getting my facts wrong, but it also seems to me that Yuri was there before any of the other current members, which might mean that she has been there for many "cycles" already, seeing new friends come and go, and always being left alone in the end.
If that is the case, then the obvious plot development is going to be that Otonashi realizes that eventually everyone will move on except Yuri, so he will come up with a way to "save her from her fate" by helping HER to move on instead, and leaving himself alone in the battlefront to greet the next group of rebels.
Actually, wait, no, that won't work because it ignores Tenshi. Tenshi is too cute to ignore, so that means we aren't supposed to ignore her... I dunno, I'm sure someone's got a better theory...
Havoc10K:
how about this ? (click to show/hide)there really isn;t a timetable for the world they are in, perhaps Yuri is one of the eldest there, the memories did quite tell what timetable Yurippe comes from, we only seen humans trees her house etc,
nothing really informative, she could be there for ages or only years, the way l see it she was awakened by one of the earlier "guests" to the world, taken out from among the NPCs hard to say at this point but most possible, that person whomever it was, moved on, and yuri found out the truth about the world and started gathering peeps,
notice that there aren't any older guys in the resistance, don't know why but the pnly adult seems to be that guy from the guild, knowing why Yurippe disobeys Tenshi is obvious and understandable,
l personally wouldnt be able to accept such fate made by the GOD, l think this anime is directed at humans that folishly belive that god has some plan towards everyone, they shown a very nasty experience of having your sibling killed practicaly on your eyes because you couldn't find any treasures, what god would be so cruel to plan something like that ? and the answer that priests are able to give for such questions as why did god plan this ?
they have no answer, prooves that faith is something personal and not belonging to gods, l'm glad l'm atheist, l can only blame mistakes on humanity and myself, blaming bad things on an etity that doesn't exist is just plain stupid,
l think that if otanashi do help out yurippe to move on, he will have a chat with tenshi to change her strategy, to inform about what happened in the past, with their group, what is wrong with this messed up world, not to do the same thing she does, because the way she does it is hostile, and then he wil lask tenshi to help him move on, and most probably to be with yurippe when he is reborn, so she isn't alone again, everything also depends on what was otanashi's past.

Ah! Something just occurred to me after reading this!
(click to show/hide)Otonashi can't move on because he can't remember what he is actually rebelling against. The mechanism for moving on is making peace with your past, but how can you make peace with that which you cannot remember?
Yuri is also going to have a hard time moving on. It's not like they can re-create the circumstances of her death/downfall and help her cope with them... Unless she meets someone from her past who tells he it wasn't her fault, or something.
Actually! Wait! Maybe this is where Tenshi comes in! What if Tenshi was some incarnation of Yuri's siblings or parents, or something of that nature? Again, the idea is only half formed... I'm not sure where I'm going with this...
